Professional Summary

I see architecture as a platform from which I can generate or seed changes in my society. It's my

objective to be able to contribute, in a positive way, to the bettering of our communities’

standards of life. In that note, I have had the privilege to involve myself in different projects

which have led me to contribute and learn about conservation and protection of society’s cultural

heritage.

At the moment I’m an Architect in Training with experience in collaborating for the completion

of projects regarding commercial, historic, and public buildings. I have polished my abilities to

prepare detailed drawings of architectural designs which include plans, elevations and sections.

I’m also experienced in leveraging technical expertise in BIM Programs, AutoCAD, Adobe

Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, as well as Cinema 4D to develop presentations, rendering

and 3-D Modeling.
